The Beauty of Woman

is her crown of glory. Bnt f.las! how
quickly does the nervous debility and
chronic weakness of the sex cause the
bloom of youth to pass away, sharpen the
lovely features, and emaciate the rounded
form! There is but one remedy which will
restore the faded roses and bring back the
grace of youth. 1t is DIR. Pierce's "Favor-
lite Prescription" sovereign remedy for
the diseases peculiar to females. IL is one
of the greatest bOOns ever conferred upon
the human race for it preserves that which
is fairest and dearest to all mankind-the

These creatures feed on the fruit of the pam
danus, with an occasional crekwach as a
relish. In devouring the insects, which they
do by throwing them in the dir and catching
them again, they display the wonderful grass

throat. A male bird that was caught tanned

FIG. ,2-vENT1LAToR FOR STACKS.

FIG. ,S"VENTILATOR FOR STACKS. Z
A useful arrangement, common in
many sections, for the ventilation Of
stacks and mows in barns ia also appli-
cable to the curing Of fodder. Fig. /
shows a frame made Of strips Of wood,
put together with small carriage bolts.
The length Of the section Is three or four
feet. Fig. 2 illustrates the manner in
which the sections are put together. A
small stack may have column Of these
ventilators in the center; q large one may
have three or four of them; in NOW in
the barn there may be as many as are USE
full, two or three or more, as the case
may be.
In stacking fodder corn it is safest to
make the stacks small. Three Of these
sections placed together in a column las
seen in Fig. p are sufficient for a stack
containing three tons of fodder, and which
would be about fourteen feet high. The
sheaves should be small and the stack
somewhat open at the bottom, so as to
freely admit currents of air. The top of
the stack may be finished off with straw
or hay cap.

Fodder Corn.

Fodder corn, both for feeding green and
in dry state, has become one of the
staple crops. Sweet corn is a sort very
generally grown for fodder. Sweet corn is,
however, more difficult to cure, being
liable to mold, and for this reason some
farmers practice sowing field corn when
the fodder is required for winter use.
Blount's prolific corn, owing to its large
yield, has proven popular sort in some
sections for fodder.
Corn for fodder is sown broadcast by
some, but progressive farmers contend
that better results are gained when the
seed is drilled in, with sufficient space be-
tween the rows to insure the air and sun
shine having free access to the plants.
For early feeding, the first planting Of
corn for fodder should be early, of course.
Much seed is put in, however, during the
latter part Of June and early part Of July,
with good results, for winter use.

The difficulty of curing fodder corn in
it's immature state tempts many farmers
into permitting it to become too ripe be-
fore cutting. The stage of towering is
considered the best time to cut other
forage crops, and corn appears to be no
exception. The rule very generally OBJ
served among experienced growers is to
cut fodder corn for drying in the early
blossom of the tassel. At whatever stage
the fodder is harvested, it is wise to have
the crop cut before it has been touched by
frost. llr
Stacking is considered the safest method
for preserving the fodder. There are three
requisites for keeping the fodder in good
condition: Bottom ventilation, thorough
central ventilation, and such On arrange.
